"Burka makes good use of [the character material]. She also gets the heartbreakingly beautiful ‘Far From the Home I Love’ in the second act. In one of the telling details that characterize the production, Burka speaks with emphasis, rather than simply singing, the word ‘must’ as she says to her father, a second time, ‘I must go.’” -DC Theatre Arts
"As the second daughter, Hodel, sings with a piercingly beautiful soprano voice" -Broadway World
"A honeyed Lily Burka" -MD Theatre Guide
